Hollywood has a mystique that can overwhelm one's senses. While searching for your perfect shot of the Hollywood Sign, be aware of your surroundings. Did you park in a legal space?

If, however, you find your way to safety before you are rescued, please contact 9-1-1 again and let them know that you are safe so they can stop searching for you. Thanks.
